Hey Guys. What is the difference between "especially" and "specially" (other than formality of use)??

There is no such word as specially. There a word, special. And there is a word, especially.

As for formal usage "especially" has a more limited use than "specially". Specially is always used in preference to especially when the sense is one of being out of the ordinary:
He has been specially trained.
Specially is also used when something is referred to as being for a particular purpose:
The word was specially underlined for you.
Where an idea of pre-eminence or individuality is involved, either especially or specially may be used:
He is especially (or specially) good at his job.
In informal English, however, specially is usually preferred in all contexts and both 'specially' and 'especially' are less distinguishable.
